Direction-specific disruption of subcortical visual behavior and receptive fields in mice lacking the beta2 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

12 Oct 2009 Retinotopic mapping is a basic feature of visual system organization, but its role in processing visual information is unknown. Mutant mice lacking the beta2 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor have imprecise maps in both visual cortex (V1) ... Read more...

Increased personal space of patients with schizophrenia in a virtual social environment.

15 Sep 2009 Virtual reality may be a good alternative method for measuring personal space and overcoming some limitations in previous studies on the social aspects of schizophrenia. Using this technology, we aimed to investigate the characteristics of personal ... Read more...

Lessons from follow-up examinations in patients with vestibular neuritis: how to interpret findings from vestibular function tests at a compensated stage.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: Most patients complaining of dizziness seek medical services in the interictal period, which is thought to be a compensated stage. Thus, we wanted to investigate the results of vestibular function tests (VFTs) at a compensated stage in ... Read more...
